ARTCO

THE LEVEL BEST ART CAFE IS THE IDEAL PLACE TO DEVELOP YOUR ARTISTIC SKILLS. AS WELL AS BEING SUPPORTED TO PRODUCE YOUR OWN ARTWORK YOU WILL ALSO BE INVOLVED IN THE RUNNING OF OUR ART GALLERY AND THE PRODUCTION OF OUR LEVELER MAGAZINE

THE ARTCO TRAINERS WORK IN A PERSON CENTRED WAY MEANING THEY WILL SUPPORT YOU TO DEVELOP AT YOUR OWN PACE AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH YOUR ABILITIES AND GOALS.

The Art Studio is based at the Level Best ArtCafe. While working in the Art studio you will have the opportunity to learn about and use a number of techniques such as printing, canvas painting, collage, textiles (e.g.knitting), mosaics, drawing, 3D construction (e.g. papier mache) and digital media.

We can work with you to turn your artwork into a greetings card or even have it as a design on a mug or cup. We sell our cards in the Café and in the local Visitor Information Centre. Have a look at some of the cards we’ve made previously...

EXHIBITIONS/PROJECTS

ARTCO TRAINEES ARE INVOLVED IN A NUMBER OF LOCAL PROJECTS

We’ve had work commissioned by the Colchester and Ipswich museum services, exhibited at Slack Space and held our own auctions at the Level Best Art Café. We’ve also taken part in the Colchester in Bloom competition. Check out our blog and facebook page for more information…

THE ART GALLERY

YOU COULD BE INVOLVED IN THE RUNNING OF THE ART GALLERY

As an ArtCo trainee you would be involved in the running of our art gallery. This will mean meeting exhibiting artists, hanging and labelling new exhibitions, photographing and promoting exhibitions through posters and leaflets and marketing the exhibitions on our blog, website and facebook page.
